Letters Patent 5. 81,445, dated August 25,1868,

IMPROVEMENT I'N GHUBNS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, C. N. \VHITE, of Batesville, in the county ofPaloma, and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a'full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable thoseskilled in the art to make and use the samc,reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in-which-Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal central section of my improvedchurn.

Figure 2 is a verticalcrosssection' of the same, taken through the linea: x, fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My'invention has for its object to furnish an improved churn, simple inconstruction, easily operated, in which. waste in churning and theingress of dust or other impurities are elfectually guarded against, andwhich will bring the butter in a very short time.

And it consists in the construction and combination of the variousparts, as hereinafter more fully described.

. A is the platform or ground-frame of the machine.

B and O are standards attached to the frame A, at such adistauce apartas to receive the churn-body, D,

between. them, as shown in fig. 1'. I

The body, D, of the churn, may be made cylindrical in form, .ortapering, as may be desired. E is the dasher, which consists of fourplate's, set at-right angles to each other, and made of such a size andshape as to fit into the interior of the churn-body, D.

The outer ends of the plates Eat the point where the four platesmeet,arc securely attached to a block, F, which has a rectangular tenonformed upon its outer end,'fitting into a rectangular hole inthe centreof'the plate Gr. I

The plate Gfits into the mouth of the churn, and has several ears orprojections formed upon its edge, which enter recesses formed in the.body, D, of the churn, for their reception, so that the plate G, andconsequently the plates E, may be. kept from revolving or changing theirproper positions in the said body of the churn.

His the cover of the churn, which fits closely into the mouth of thechurn-body, and which, when in place, should be in contact with theouter end of the block F. i

To thecent're of the cover H, nnd of the bottom d of the churn-body D,are attached sockets or plates 1, to receive the centres upon which thechurn is pivoted.

The centre, J, at the bottom of the cumin stationary, being securelyattached to the standard 13.

The centre, K, at'the mouth of the churn, is formed upon the forward endor point of thc crank-screw 14,50 that it may be readily turned out torelease thechurn, and turned in to again pivot the said churn.

Each of the plates E is perforated with two parallel rows of holes, eachpair of holes being connected by a slit, the edges of which are turnedor bent in oppositedirections, as shown in fig. 1.

The lips thus formed may be inclined in diil'erent directions in theadjacent plates, so as to more thoroughly break up the currents as theyare formed by thcmilk being forced through the slotted plates E by therevolution of the churn. Y I

,As the revolution of the churn should not be rapid, it may be revolvedby means of the ears M, attached to the outer side ofthe churn-body D,or motion may be given to it in any'other convenient manner.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Thecombination of the dashcr-plates E, block E, plate G, and coyor H, witheach other, and with the churmbody, D, said parts being constructed andarranged substantially as herein shown and described and for the purposeset forth. v

2. In combination with the above, and with the frame A B O, the fixedccntrcj and crank-screw L, all

arranged and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
